4 tableau piles (left) - Each pile contains 13 cards, first card a Queen, 2nd card face down, the rest face up. Face down cards are not available until all face up cards (except Queens) in all piles have been played. Then the 4 cards are turned over for play.

4 waste piles (right) - build up or down regardless of suit from the tableau. Aces may be played on Kings, Kings may be played on Aces, and Kings and Jacks are considered consecutive. Once a card has been played to a waste pile it cannot be moved.
